Researchers have developed a solar-powered reactor that transforms hard-to-recycle plastic waste into clean hydrogen ...

Plastics are inherently dielectrics or electrical insulators, with electrons tightly bound within their covalent polymer chains, preventing the free flow of charge. This property makes them ...

University of Texas at Arlington engineering professor Sahadat Hossain explains how the unique mix of plastic and asphalt is made. He and a team of students are piloting the sustainable mix on a paved ...

Researchers in Worcester Polytechnic Institute's Department of Chemical Engineering and at The University of Akron have published research in Chemical Engineering Journal about a new technology that ...

Recycling polyolefin plastics is inefficient and costly because their strong bonds make them hard to break down and require tedious pre-sorting. The future of plastic recycling may soon get much less ...

Modern joining technologies support complex geometries, miniaturization and integrated functionalities in plastic assemblies. Advanced process control and validation tools enable higher confidence, ...
